Chapter 20

Richie nearly had a heart attack, and Jon thought he was on candid camera. ‘What the hell do you mean by that lady?’ Jon’s temper was starting to boil.

‘Well you seemed to be throwing Richie at me, and then you’ve kissed me, so I’m just wondering if you need a masseuse or a hooker.’ Damn they were just too damn easy.

 Richie couldn’t believe what she was saying, how the hell had she jumped to this? Yeah sure he’d made it plain he’d wanted her, and Jon had kissed her, but that was a joke and she’d gotten over that.

‘You really think we’d use you like that?’ He was hurt, and he pouted.

‘Nah, but lord you’re easy!’ She started to chuckle, and with their astounded looks she nearly slid under the table laughing.

It took the men a second to realise they’d been had, ‘You bitch! That wasn’t very nice!’ But, after a second or two both men joined her.

‘Sorry it just presented itself and I couldn’t help it, oh lord your faces were a picture. The way you looked about Jon, I’m sure you thought I’d stashed a camera somewhere!’ She giggled again, and then gasped as Richie wound his hand in her hair again and tugged. ‘Hey bub it’s not a damn choke chain!’

His voice deepened to a rich smooth whiskey, ‘Darlin, if it keeps you in check, then I’ll just have to keep tugging on it.’ Gail’s mouth went dry, he then lent in and kissed her. The whole world receded till it was just the two of them.

Jon sighed, it was going to be a long afternoon! He took out his phone and dialled up his PA, telling her to send a contract to Laurel’s fax, he’d got the number from Mon and a confidentiality agreement too. He wanted it all sorted a.s.a.p. then he phones Mon, telling her what would be arriving and could she be an angel and pop it in an envelope till they got back, or if not, could she bring it to the party tonight and make sure Gail got it. She agreed and asked if they were having a good lunch. He made her laugh when he said if they stopped eating each other, probably.

Gail jerked out of Richie’s arms when she heard him say that, blushing furiously.

Richie just put his arm along behind her and buried his hand under her hair, stroking her nape, trying to get his breathing back under control! He’d nearly dragged her under the fuckin table and made love to her there and then, he couldn’t stand, and he’d impale himself if he tried to get up! What a state to be in and Jon just had this shit eating grin on his face because he knew exactly how she’d gotten to him.

‘So, now we’ve got that little matter settled, let’s finish up here and go blow some cash!’ Jon suggested.

‘Hell, Frank let me finish my drink first, jezz man!’ Richie could have decked him, he knew he couldn’t move just yet, the shit!

‘Aw sorry Dean thought you’d finished.’ And he smirked at Richie.

Gail was oblivious to the undercurrents; she was trying to straighten out her Sambora addled brain yet again! If he could turn her to mush with a kiss, what the hell would happen if they ever made love? Or should she say, have sex, she needed to stop thinking with her heart, it’d only be sex, but from the looks of it she wouldn’t walk straight afterwards. She chuckled out loud and both men looked at her, she blushed a bit and shrugged, not enlightening them to what she’d been thinking.

Ten minutes later Richie was presentable enough to stand, so they headed out, a man on either arm, Gail had numerous envious glances cast her way.

She asked them again if they really wanted to clothes shop or do something else, they both assured her they loved to shop, plus Richie couldn’t wait to see her try stuff on!

On their walk Jon told her about the contracts being sent to Laurel’s and that Mon would make sure she got them tonight. She nodded, she could make an appointment to see her lawyer and get them checked out and back to Jon in a day or so.

The first shop she wanted to go to was Agent Provocateur, but for the life of her she couldn’t bring herself to tell the handsome, hot men with her where she wanted to go! In the end, she just carried on walking till they got to the shop and just stopped. Both men giving her a look till she nodded towards the door, and they both started grinning and couldn’t stop, they’d been in this shop before and brought things, they liked going in there and opened the door and ushered her in.
